Arsenal’s Wenger has a lot to shout about

Tags:

Arsene Wenger is known as the The Professor but the halftime ear-bashing he inflicted on his Arsenal team at Anfield on Sunday had more in keeping with the “hairdryer” technique often used by his great rival Alex Ferguson.

Perhaps the reason was because he realised that Arsenal may never have a better opportunity to break the Manchester United/Chelsea domination of the Premier League.

Both of the top two appear vulnerable at the moment and Arsenal, despite losing to both of them already this season, are the best-equipped to muscle in on the title race.

Earlier this season Wenger stated that the Premier League could be won with a relatively low points total this season. Judging by recent results he looks like being proved right.

Chelsea are suddenly leaking goals at an alarming rate, United’s defeat at home to Aston Villa illustrated just how much they are missing the departed Cristiano Ronaldo, Liverpool are going backwards and Manchester City are yet to maximise the huge amount of money spent on their team.

With a couple of good signings in January, Wenger and Arsenal may have plenty to shout about in 2010.

Wenger lost his temper as he realized that missing the chance to close the gap on Chelsea and Man Utd might cost Arsenal dear. He is a man who usually doesn’t resort to expletive-laden rants, but sometimes he has to.
